Private art & antiquity tours — Provence · Paris · US West Coast

Exceptional art visits, discerningly picked to cultivate your travels

Our tours explore the human story through the prism of how and where people lived their lives: the homes and cities they decorated, the gardens they created, the landscapes they moved through, the spirituality that sustained them.

How we tour

Personal, above all

A small group of passionate co-travelers, on a first-name basis from the first morning. Our visits leave room for chance encounters — with overseers, staff, and locals who share our passion.

An unhurried pace

Regular pauses, seated lectures, quieter hours, and seasonal charm for each site. The time is yours — to sketch, photograph, journal, converse, or simply look.

Everything handled

Private transport, tickets, lunches, and tips are all taken care of, down to the personal pre-arrival correspondence and a handsome welcome kit. A true escape from care.
